Disney corrupts kids, top British Catholic says: Products encourage greed

A leading Roman Catholic cleric in England has accused the Walt Disney Company of corrupting children, encouraging greed and turning its make-believe world into a latter-day pilgrimage site.

Christopher Jamison, the abbot of Worth Abbey in southern England, charges Disney with “exploiting spirituality” and helping to generate a culture of materialism while pretending to provide movies, books and theme parks with a moral message.
